Genuine

it is hard for people to be truly genuine - to be who they are suppose to be, to stick to their beliefs, to not succumb to peer pressure. I use to work with people who weren't genuine, they were hypocrites in all aspects of their lives. They would tell you one thing and they would live the other way. My favorite is how we always got quotes from the Bible or God stories when it fit their situation. It is sad because they believed in their own hearts that they were truly living out the Bible all of the time but in reality they were just "Convenient Christians" you know those type of people that find the one verse that fits their situation at that moment in time and 2 months later completely change it. Or they do all of the talking but surely don't live the life. Looking back - I think it might have been a cult I worked for - The owner couldn't make a true decision if his life depending on it - gave in too much to peer pressure and was never genuine.

I am not saying this to be bashing anyone - we just have a person here that is not genuine and is hypocritical and it brought up the past - that's all - I have no hard feelings towards anyone from my past it is what it is - you know. You have a past for a reason - to learn from it and I certainly have.

We have all been failures at one time or another in our lives on being truly genuine - at one point in your life you have given in to the peer pressure to act a certain way, dress a certain way even though you felt it just wasn't you. It is hard to be genuine especially for women I believe because you just want to fit in, you never want to be the hated person, or the person that everyone talks about it, so I think we tend to give in to our true genuine selfs more than others - it is a tough world out there but if you can find it to be TRULY GENUINE and not so hypocritical your life may just go a bit easier.

God made us all special in our own unique ways it is up to us to honor that and live the genuine life he wants us to!

Speaking of genuine - look at this shot of Cary with Brian Kelly at the ND Football Camp. I know some hate Brian Kelly and others do not but how awesome for Cary - he is genuinely happy and ecstatic to have had that opportunity. Love ya!

Stay cool today - it is going to be a HOT one!!!!

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love and happiness to all,
